Airbag light turned on and was diagnosed as 'faulty air bag on driver side due to wiring harness issue'. I did not expect to pay for this repair as airbags are federally regulated 'safety' items. Car was just out of warranty. I did make a claim to toyota and part was paid for. However, world toyota in atlanta did charge me $293 for the labor. I would appreciate any information you can offer on this matter.

The srs warning light (airbag icon) lit up after pulling my 2010 prius out of the driveway on april 4, 2014. We tested whether the seatbelt had anything to do with it, or whether it made a difference if someone was seated in the passenger seat or not. Neither seemed to make any difference. The car was purchased august 1, 2009, and has just over 61000 miles on it. It has not been in any accidents, nor run over…

We noticed that the carpet was saturated. The dealer told us it was because there were spider webs blocking the drain from the a/c. It was repaired at a cost of $1,554, the work included drying the air bag module and replacement of carpet. We believe this should be the subject of a recall as it is the identical problem recalled for the toyota camry. *tr

At the time i thought the car did not stop because of ice, but now after this 2nd accident and researching other…
